Here lies

the Body of

URSURLA SEATHIEL,

commonly called,

MOTHER SHIPTON,

known alſo,

by the Titles of, The

Devil's Baſtard, Hag Face, &c.

who was brought into the world under

ſuch ſtrange circumſtances,

that it ſurpriſed every mortal there

preſent.

was a good neighbour,

a loving Wife,

and an affectionate friend.

She lived-till ſhe died, at the age of

Amen, Amen, ſo let it be,

So reſt her body, and her ſ-o-u-l go free.
